Photos: Silver Spoon Power Y, Tadasana Pants, and More

The Wide Striped Silver Spoon Power Y with Flash Astro Pants. I can't wait for my Power Y to get here. I was so bummed none of my other nearby stores had it in my size.

Pig striped Lively tee. I forgot to write I saw this today but I would prefer one in the fat silver spoon stripes. The wide silver spoon stripe pattern is just one of those that really appeals to me.

Heathered Flash Cool Racerback with Free To Be bra in Wild Lime. Worn with the Hot N Sweaty skirt.

The Silver Spoon striped Stay on Course tank. The stripes in the pleats don't line up with those on the tank in this one. In the pigment blue one I saw today, they lined up very nicely. I guess that's something to look for when you get this tank.

Lots of excitement about the Tadasana pants coming pant. These pants run narrow in the leg and are fitted through to the calf.

Any pant that bunches up behind the knee is too narrow in the leg for you. If you have slim legs, the Tadasana are great, if you don't, stick to Grooves.

I really like the gray and black waistbands in these Wunder Under Pants.

I'm confused about there being both a Flash, and a Bon Bon scuba. Does the Bon Bon match other Flash items? I ask because I like the look of Bon Bon more online, but also want a couple of 'minor' Flash items (maybe bra, waistband, etc). Anyone know if the two colors work together?

Thanks for the info about the Tadasana pants and the great advice about fit...I would have never considered the behind the knee bunching, but definitely will whenever I'm trying on pants in the future.

@Tite Melan~ That's quite normal, what you are seeing on your invoice. Usually for me, it will stay in the "processing" mode till it is shipped, next business day. If it stays that way for more than two business days, then I'll start worrying and calling GEC.

I hope the wide striped flow y tank in pigment blue is coming soon. That's the last bit on my wish list! I really love the grey/black waistband on the wunder unders. I wonder if they will come out in wunder grooves?>

and yes thank you for the fit info! didn't realize that about the bunching!

I just bought the Power Y tank in solid Flash - it's awesome. I'm a pale skin blonde, and it makes my winter white skin glow. Was terrified when I saw it in the store (very day-glo 80s, and I did the 80's first time around!), but the girl convinced me to try it on, and I'm glad I did.Tried some heathered flash too, but can do without it.The new Wild Lime is really nice too...more blue based than it looks on line.

@Tite Melan~update on orders. I've just checked my orders updates. Just like you, I've placed two orders early Tuesday morning. My orders still has "processing" but now with a shipping/tracking numbers. They both are due to arrive this Friday. Yay! This is normal delivery time for my early Tuuesday orders. The abnormal thing is the invoice showing processing, but items has already been shipped. Lulu always has a time lapse in sending out notification emails, at least for me.

People waiting on orders- one of my co-workers had the same issue: he ordered a duffel and a hoodie on Monday and they're still showing as 'Processing' (the hoodie is now sold out in his wife's size and but the bag is still in stock). He called the GEC after I panicked him with stories of the sold out orders and cancellations (oops!) and they told him everything is good, just taking a little longer to process. Hopefully that's all it is for everyone!

I'm not that excited about the new colours- probably a good thing though, I went a little nuts with the fall/ early winter stuff. My wallet needs the break!

@ anon 1:12 pm - I think the Recognition are only snug to just above the knee but the Tadasana are snug though to the calf and then flare out a little. I thought the Tadasana was a very slim fit through the leg and the Recognition was a bit looser.

About Me

For 18 years I was an electrical engineer working in communications satellite system engineering. I've worked at Boeing, Booz, Allen & Hamilton, and General Electric. For the past ten years I've been a stay at home mom who keeps busy volunteering in my community and chauffeuring my three children to their activities. I live in Orange County, California.

The inaugural Sea Wheeze inspired me to take up running two years ago. I have completed ten half marathons and have three more scheduled for 2015. I mostly run these days but also go to the gym ~3-4 days a week for spin class, weight lifting, and cardio.

I discovered Lululemon six years ago and really liked the fit and performance of the clothes. I do check out other brands so if you would like me to review your product please contact me.
